--------------------------------------
Neil McCann takes a free-kick and the Southampton players in the box start moving. First Chris Baird used his body to block Distin, which Manchester City used to defend Beatty, and Beattie walked past Byelder and ran in the direction of the ball, and the other City players did not have time to make up for Beatty. David Pluton on the other side slowed down another centre-back, Dunn, to defend Beatty. Beattie ran to where he expected the ball to land. Ball to Man Arrive!! Beatty jumped high, Dunn was a step slower after all, and before he could jump, he watched Beatty put the ball into the goal!! After the goal, Beattie excitedly ran to the stands and hugged the fans to celebrate.
"Whew! Call! Call! Call! "The cheers of St. Mary's Stadium shook the sky.
In the 10th minute, Southampton opened the scoring from a set-piece.
Chen Zhun and Reed on the sidelines hugged each other tightly, and Chen Zhun said that he would retract what he had just said. Reid's set-piece tactics paid off for the first time. This free-kick tactic is nothing more than two people blocking and dismantling, and one person attacking the goal, which can be regarded as borrowing part of the essence of the NBA's blocking and dismantling tactics, which is also a more common type of set-piece tactics.
After seeing the goal, the Southampton fans began to sing the team song in unison, while the Manchester City fans in the away stands had disappointment written on their faces. Keegan is also disappointed, Manchester City's record of two wins, one draw and four defeats since the start of the season is really unattainable, after winning Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the league and Barnsley in the League Cup, Keegan has only temporarily retained his position, Keegan hopes to completely get rid of the crisis of confidence in the club's hierarchy with consecutive victories. But today he doesn't seem to see any hope in this stadium.
After taking the lead, the Southampton players played more freely and fluently on the pitch, which was a familiar rhythm for them, and Manchester City did not look too dull because of the goals conceded, and they were also wrestling with the Southampton team. Left midfielder Sun Jihai was not affected by that fall and still played his part on the field. Chen Zhun saw the young Sun Jihai and thought of the performance of the nearly 40-year-old Sun Jihai in the Chinese Super League, and made a long pass in the backfield to accurately find the striker in the front. The years have passed, but the footwork has not changed, which may be the embodiment of the group known as the golden generation of Chinese football. Time is fortunate to make them the first people in history, and time is unfortunate to make them the beginning of the end. Chen Zhun sighed when he thought of this, now that he has crossed over to become a British, he can only see if he can buy a Chinese player in the future and make some contributions to his motherland. After all, the Chinese market is huge, and it is also a good business opportunity for the club. But Chen Zhun thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a player he liked.
Halfway through the first half, the score remained 1-0. Chen Zhun took advantage of the stability of the situation and hurriedly sat down in his seat to rest, since he became the head coach, he stood more times than sitting, he obviously felt that his legs were getting thinner and thinner, and the characteristics of long legs were undoubtedly revealed.
Since the goal was scored, the game has begun to show a smooth state, both teams are thundering and raining, and there are few opportunities to really threaten the opponent's goal. Kevin Keegan has become the busiest man on the pitch, thundering for City's easy loss of possession and gesturing forward when City attack. But Southampton at this time is not the Southampton at that time, and Southampton's backline has become very tacit and indestructible after two months of game training. City's midfield didn't have a core capable of delivering a through ball to the front players, and Southampton used a special tactic to strangle Kevin Keegan's only winger Wright Phillips. This led to Anelka's isolation in the front field, rarely getting the pass, and now Manchester City is empty of Anelka, the top scorer in the scorer list, but it is useless. Anelka on the field has become a burden to Manchester City at this time, he only stays in the box and waits for his teammates to pass the ball when attacking, and when he defends, he basically sees him strolling in the front field. Like chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. Anelka's glorious deeds must be well known to everyone, he is a famous transfer king in Europe and a famous thorn. His total value was once as high as 131.7 million euros, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo. He was also removed from the French Football Federation for insulting the head coach of the French team, Domenech.
Returning attention to the pitch, Anelka had just pulled back to the line of the box and fired a long-range shot high and wide. Wright-Phillips, who was on the right, was unhappy with Anelka's random shot and walked up to Anelka and seemed to be talking to him about it. Chen Zhun was very excited when he saw Anelka and Wright-Phillips, and both of them must be holding on to their opinions. The two said a few words and then dispersed.
Chen Zhun saw such a scene and was even more determined that the victory in this game had been in the bag, and there had been discordant factors in the Manchester City team, and such a team would not go far.
The game continued, and Manchester City, who had a single attacking method, still couldn't find any way, and Kevin Keegan had to order the team to continue to give Wright Phillips the ball and let him break through to find opportunities, but Wright Phillips' confidence, which had experienced countless downfalls and was broken, had long since disappeared without a trace.
Wright-Phillips got on the ball again, again facing the familiar left-back Le Sox. Wright-Phillips wanted to shake off Lesaux's defensive position with his bike. But when Wright-Phillips was thinking about the movements, the movements under his feet could not keep up with the movements reflected in his brain, and he lacked confidence, so he fell down without standing firmly on his feet when he pedaled the bicycle for the first time. The sea of red in St Mary's Stadium suddenly burst into laughter, and it is rare for the former king of England to have such an embarrassing moment. When Kevin Keegan saw such a scene, he felt helpless and powerless.
When Wright-Phillips stood up, Le Sox had already taken advantage of this Wright-Phillips fatal mistake and quickly launched a counterattack, Le Sox quickly passed to Pruton, who was unguarded in front, Pluton did not dribble too much, passed to Drap in the middle, Drape saw that Lallana on the right was in space, and Sun Jihai, who was defending him, was still struggling to catch up behind, because of Wright-Phillips's mistake, which caused the frontcourt players to have no time to react and have to turn back and run back to defend. Lallana was comfortable with the ball, and he faced Satcher, who had already been sieveed by him in today's game. Lallana made a quick stop and changed direction and shook lightly past the stumbling Satcher, ready to burst into the penalty area!
